Live Nation plans to increase cost of beer at concerts, so how much will a beer cost you at Saquatch!?

p>Ear Candy spent last weekend at the Gorge Amphitheatre for the venue’s season opener and noticed a few subtle changes to the most amazing outdoor venue on the planet (That’s right, I said it. Let the Red Rocks v. Gorge debate begin).

One of the main changes was the cost of alcohol prices. It has been reported that Live Nation, the company that owns the Gorge, plans to attempt to boost its revenue by increasing the cost of beer at the venues it owns and operates. Knowing this Ear Candy paid close attention to the beer costs.

Last year a 22-oz can of beer cost $11. That’s 50 cents an ounce. Or, $66 for a sixer of tallboys. I’m pretty sure $66 could get a quite a few more than six tallboys at your local grocery store. This year there has been a subtle change to the beer costs.
